Summer Soundscape
Summer sounds, day and night
Flocks of birds darting in the sky
Wings flapping as the group flows
Left and right in a pattern of Starlings
I hear the wind influencing their direction
As geese fly, in perfect formation
Aerodynamic wind resistance strategy
Each bird flying slightly above the bird in front,
The sun makes no sound
But one hears the heat as it prickles the skin
The gentle repetitive slap of arms
Beset by flies and mosquitos who have nothing better to do
Summer water is the gentle sound
Babbling brooks and singing streams
Sprinkler sounds of children at play
Soft rain splatters a tune in syncopation
The summer wind is a caress
A soft whistle through trees
The leaves play their part in the song
The cacophony of sounds, a Summer concert
Croaking frogs discordant to the ear
Contrast the pleasing sound of crickets
Chirping long into the night till their pattern
Lulls one to sleep with summer sounds in their head.
